Birla Corporation Ltd
BIRLACORPNBirla Corporation Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 18th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse.
The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +88.9% against a −28.3% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.
The price is in a downtrend (40 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 18th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −3.3% year on year, and 333% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
Birla Corporation Ltd trades at ₹1,015, in a downtrend and 40 weeks into that stage. That is −2.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 45% of a 52-week range of ₹782 to ₹1,299. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (3 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 40 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹1,015 it trades −2.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 45% of its 52-week range (₹782–₹1,299).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +194% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (3 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-01) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: the P/E sits at the 18th percentile of its own range.
Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.
Birla Corporation Ltd trades at 13.2× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 18% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 22.7×, measured across 10.4 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/E of 13.2× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 18% of the time, against a long-run median of 22.7× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +88.9% against a −28.3% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the −5.5%/yr price move, ~−3.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−1.8 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +6.4%/yr price move, ~+13.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−7.0 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.
Put together: the multiple is low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.
Stage: Mixed Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
Birla Corporation Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: profit growth has eased from +907.7% at its peak to +44.6% but is still expanding, ROCE lifting at 10.0%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.
Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.
A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | +4.8% | +3.6% | +7.3% | +11.4% |
| Profit | +89.2% | +140.7% | −2.4% | +12.8% |
| EPS | +88.9% | +139.7% | −2.4% | +12.8% |
| Share price | −28.3% | −5.8% | −5.5% | +6.4% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
42.5/100 — rank 20 of 26 in Cement · 94% evidence confidence
Birla Corporation Ltd scores 42.5 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Cement, ranking 20. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 16.8 + 11.2 + 8.5 + 6 = 42.5. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Birla Corporation Ltd reported ₹2,646 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +7.8% year on year. That is the 2nd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 11.4% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹9,656 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹9,848 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹9,656 Cr (+4.8% on the year), capping 10 years at 11.4% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹2,646 Cr, +7.8% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +4.3% growth against the decade's 11.4% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +3.9% over the last 4 quarters against +2.1%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +44.6% vs +18.7%/yr — accelerating.
→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 13.0% this quarter (−1.0 pp YoY).
Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.
Birla Corporation Ltd's operating margin is 13.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0% to 20.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
Birla Corporation Ltd's operating margin is 13.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0% to 20.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 13.0%, −1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0%–20.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −1.2 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.1 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.
→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −3.3% in the latest quarter.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Birla Corporation Ltd earned ₹116 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, −3.3% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹558 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 12.8%. That is 4.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹120 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Jun 26 profit was ₹116 Cr, −3.3% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹558 Cr (+89.2%), and the 10-year compound rate is 12.8%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +7.8% and the margin −1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +27.5% vs revenue +4.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.
→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 333% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.
Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.
Over the last 3 fiscal years 333% of Birla Corporation Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹950 Cr of operating cash against ₹558 Cr of profit. After ₹466 Cr of capital spending, ₹484 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹950 Cr against reported profit of ₹558 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹484 Cr after ₹466 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 333% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
Why conversion sits at 333%: the cash cycle tightened 27 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.
Router verdict: no single sink dominates — the next section checks both the working-capital cycle and the capital spending.
→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: a 72-day cycle and ₹1,510 Cr of building.
Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).
Birla Corporation Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 72 days in FY26, down from 99 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹1,510 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹9,656 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹26.5 Cr, so roughly ₹1,905 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 12 days, inventory at 281 days — roughly 9.2 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 72 days, tighter than FY21's 99.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 281 days to sell; customers pay about 12 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 221 days — netting out to the 72-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹9,656 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹26.5 Cr — so the 72-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,905 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹1,510 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹1,682 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹471 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
The synthesis: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.
→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 10% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −5.0 pp.
Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.
Birla Corporation Ltd earns a ROCE of 10% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 4% in FY23. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −5.0 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 5.8% net margin on 0.66× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 10%, recovered from a FY23 trough of 4% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.8% net margin × 0.66× asset turns × 1.98× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 7.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 7.0% − 12.0% = a −5.0 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.
→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.46.
Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.
Birla Corporation Ltd carries total debt of ₹3,391 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹7,365 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.46. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.72 in FY22 to 0.46 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹3,391 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹7,365 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.46. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.72 (FY22) to 0.46 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: the register is quiet.
Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.
No holder of Birla Corporation Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Foreign institutions moved +0.1 points over the same window, to 6.1%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +0.7 points over 8 quarters to 17.0%; Foreign institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 6.1%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 62.9%.
→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
Birla Corporation Ltd: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.

Will Birla Corporation Ltd's share price go up?
This page publishes no price forecast for Birla Corporation Ltd. What it measures instead: the share price is ₹1,015, the price is in a downtrend 40 weeks in. Its P/E of 13.2× sits at the 18th percentile of its own 10-year range. — as of 24 July 2026.

Does Birla Corporation Ltd have too much debt?
It is moderate — Birla Corporation Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.46, and operating profit covers the interest bill 6×. FY26 borrowings were ₹3,391 Cr against equity of ₹7,365 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 24 July 2026.
What is Birla Corporation Ltd's capex?
Birla Corporation Ltd spent ₹1,510 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY26 alone that was ₹466 Cr, with ₹471 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.
What is Birla Corporation Ltd's cash flow?
Birla Corporation Ltd generated ₹950 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹484 Cr of free cash flow after ₹466 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹558 Cr, so operating cash ran ahead of profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.
Is Birla Corporation Ltd's profit real cash?
Yes — over the last 3 fiscal years, 333% of Birla Corporation Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹950 Cr against reported profit of ₹558 Cr. The cash then goes into a mix of the working-capital cycle and capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 24 July 2026.
Where is Birla Corporation Ltd in its business cycle?
Birla Corporation Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 15.0%, against a 13-year band of 9.0%–20.0%: mid-band by its own history — neither the peak that precedes mean-reversion nor the trough that precedes recovery. The latest quarter ran 13.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 24 July 2026.
What could break the Birla Corporation Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +88.9% against a −28.3% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 24 July 2026.
Is Birla Corporation Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Birla Corporation Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 18th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse. The sharpest open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
